Grieving and Moving

In the interest of getting used to being in the house since Kitty's passing I have started rearranging. When you move things, you move energy. Whether you believe in Feng Shui, or not, you know you feel more comfortable in some places than others. Crowded little dusty cluttery places are are not motivating me to work, they are making me lazy! 

The grieving period is still in full effect, I sobbed the first day, removed her things the second. Erasing “cat food & cat litter” from the grocery board was surprisingly hard, it made it seem so permanent. Although, I am almost positive she switched bodies with Puppy when Puppy was so sick...can't prove it yet. 

Little things like putting clothes on the bed and having a thought about Kitty laying on them, she won't. Or doing laundry and throwing things on the bed and wondering if I'll hit Kitty, I won't. I feel like I'm in a good place now. It's an opportunity to live a litter-box free life for the first time in my life (I have always had cat(s), even growing up), and I could finally take the baby gates down that gave her refuge from the Mutt Pack. I have more space. Hooray. 

It's good to mix things up, change your timeline, do something different and see how it affects your day. I have been taking different streets lately, and doing things in a different order, and at new times of day. The computer is back in the library right now, I like to work in here, I feel grounded and inspired. The Living Room is not conducive to thinking. There are too many electronics, and the couch is very low and I have to slump over. In here, I can lean back, lean back, do the Rockaway... 

Will I still cry later, maybe, but I feel that, for once, I faced something immediately, and felt it. It hurt, but I did it. The mystery now is what is bothering my belly? It's been two weeks and I still feel funky. I thought it was stress of sick Puppy, then of departed Kitty...maybe it is. Maybe it's “coming up to come out”. Have a great day, try something new!
